class AmpScaler(object):
    """
    :api_attr: imperative

    AmpScaler is used for Auto-Mixed-Precision training/inferring in imperative
    mode. It controls the scaling of loss, helps avoiding numerical overflow.
    The object of this class has two methods `scale()`, `minimize()`.

    `scale()` is used to multiply the loss by a scale ratio.
    `minimize()` is similar as `Optimizer.minimize()`, performs parameters updating.

    Commonly, it is used together with `amp_guard` to achieve Auto-Mixed-Precision in 
    imperative mode.

    Args:
        enable(bool, optional): Enable loss scaling or not. Default is True.
        init_loss_scaling (float, optional): The initial loss scaling factor. Default is 2**15.
        incr_ratio(float, optional): The multiplier to use when increasing the loss 
                        scaling. Default is 2.0.
        decr_ratio(float, optional): The less-than-one-multiplier to use when decreasing 
                        the loss scaling. Default is 0.5.
        incr_every_n_steps(int, optional): Increases loss scaling every n consecutive 
                                steps with finite gradients. Default is 1000.
        decr_every_n_nan_or_inf(int, optional): Decreases loss scaling every n 
                                    accumulated steps with nan or inf gradients. Default is 2.
        use_dynamic_loss_scaling(bool, optional): Whether to use dynamic loss scaling. If False, fixed loss_scaling is used. If True, the loss scaling is updated dynamicly. Default is True.
    Returns:
        An AmpScaler object.
